Man On Fire. 1987.

Most people think Man on Fire is the Denzel Film, this is the original 80s film with Scott Glenn as Creasey, ex soldier now a body guard to 12 year old Sam in Italy. Same scenario, he isn't keen on being a baby sitter but forms a bond and then she is taken. Glenn does actually do a decent part as the washed up soldier and still battling his demons teaming up with old pal Joe Pesci who provides some bits of arsenal. The action pack sequences are good, the revenge part can be brutal and yet satisfying. If you ever come across this version I'd say go for it, it's not high octane as the 2004 version but it's entertaining.
